A Belated Happy Easter Greeting…
I would’ve posted yesterday but I was busy doing all of the cooking and such and well…my hubby was hogging the computer!
Anyway, I hope that you all had a
We had all of our kiddos home this weekend for Easter and had a blast!!
The kids and I baked cookies all day Saturday and then yesterday morning I set out their Easter baskets and Jason and hid the eggs in the front yard for them to have their egg hunt. It was fun and they enjoyed themselves immensely! 
After they were done with their egg hunt we all headed into the house for BIG breakfast of cheese, eggs and sausage, fresh fruit, croissants & bagels with cream cheese and orange juice.
It was good!
The kiddos went and played games for a bit after breakfast while consuming the candy from their Easter baskets. They were some hyper kids throughout the day!! So what did I do…I put out the cookies that we baked on Saturday so they could be pumped with more sugar!
Yeah, I’m a glutten for punishment I guess. 
We played several games throughout the day including a couple of games of chess. It was fun to hang out with the kids and have a good time as opposed to me asking them every night “do you have you homework done yet?”.
We had a late dinner but it was oh-so yummy! I made homemade chicken parmesiana with fresh green beans with parmesian and walnuts, and a fruit salad for dessert. The kids were pretty tired after that and went to bed without much fuss at all. 
Good times though…good times.
I hope that you all had a wonderful Easter weekend as well!
Of course, today has been a completely different story all together.
About an hour after I arrived to the office the electricity went out due to some idiot who was putting in a fence on the property severing the electrical lines with a backhoe…oy! So we spent the next 4 hours without any power, which meant that we all sat around doing a whole bunch of NOTHING!! Did anyone offer to send us home you ask? Umm…NO. 
Finally I just decided to call a friend and go to lunch. At least that way I was doing something!
We finally got power back around 1:15pm or so…yeah, most of the day has been shot to hell. Oh well, at least I’m getting paid right?

Your Easter sounds fantastic! For the first year in a long time, we didn’t have the Easter egg hunt. I think my mom finally figured out that it’s a little ridiculous to have an egg hunt for her 21, 24, 27, and 34 year-old daughters and their grandmother. While we probably did look mighty silly running around the yard at our age, I will secretly admit to missing it.
I guess that we’ll just have to start giving her grandchildren; after all, she does already have a whole box of baby sweaters, blankets, and booties ready for whoever serves up the first grandkid. 
I’m glad you had such a wonderful day with your family; you definitely deserve it, especially with all you put up with at the office!
I’m very glad we got to spend Easter together as a full family this year! Sorry for hogging the computer– but it’s all for a good cause, you know
Love you!
